I really like Beaconhill Park. Minutes from downtown Victoria it offers a wide array of things to do. There are playgrounds, ponds, forests, hills, views, ocean walks, and a diverse blend of indigenous and exotic plants. This day I was joined by several local Victorians and their kids for a photoadventure around the Beaconhill Petting Zoo!

The youngest participant of our photoadventure was very keen on using his little digital camera! Kids see the world in a different way. It's great to observe them and see what they notice and check out.

I lived a block and a half away from the park for the two and a half years I went to college in Victoria. You can definitely hear the peacocks from there. I can do a fairly good impression now.

You'd make an expression like this as well if you always had people gawking and taking pictures while you bathe 😉
